What you can automate

What does the Daktela Make integration let you automate?

The Daktela Make integration links your Daktela account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of modules). Make watches tickets, contacts, accounts, CRM records and campaign records in Daktela, then creates, reads or updates them, calls, texts or emails, without any code on your side.

Alert the right person when a ticket lands. Watch Tickets spots new or changed tickets, and Send an SMS pings whoever is on duty. A support lead stops refreshing the queue.

Feed campaigns from your CRM. When Watch CRM Records sees a new record, Create a Campaign Record drops it into an outbound campaign, so a sales team calls fresh leads without a spreadsheet in between.

Keep a clean trail on every case. Create a Comment to a Ticket adds a note from another tool, for example a delivery update from your shop, directly on the Daktela ticket the agent already has open.

Know the limits before you start. All five Daktela triggers are scheduled: Make checks Daktela on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and nothing is pushed instantly. Make also states that its Daktela documentation is limited, so the exact fields show up only once you open a module in the editor. For anything the listed modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Daktela API with the same connection.

Connect

How do you connect Daktela to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Daktela module

    In any scenario, click the +, search for Daktela and pick a module, Watch Tickets for instance. In its settings, click Create a connection. The connection is your Daktela account linked to Make once, then reused by every Daktela module.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize

    Give the connection a name you will recognize later, such as the team or the Daktela instance it belongs to. Then follow what the window asks: either approve Make on the Daktela page, or paste the key your Daktela account gives you.

  3. 03

    Save and check the lists

    Click Save. Back in the module, the fields that list Daktela objects should now fill in. If they stay empty, the account behind the connection probably lacks access, and it is worth fixing before you go further.

First scenario

Your first scenario: a text message whenever a ticket changes

GoalWhen a ticket is created or updated in Daktela, Make sends an SMS to the person on duty.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. This first slot is the trigger, the module that starts everything.

  2. 02

    Add Watch Tickets

    Search for Daktela, choose Watch Tickets and click Create a connection if you have none yet. Fill in the fields Make shows once the account is linked.

  3. 03

    Chain Send an SMS

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add the Daktela module Send an SMS. Map the ticket data from the first module into the message so the reader knows what to open.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then create or edit a ticket in Daktela. Open the bubbles above each module: you see the bundle (one ticket) that came in and what was sent.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Click the clock on Watch Tickets. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default; paid plans go down to one minute. Then turn the scenario on so it runs without you.

Triggers

Which Daktela triggers can start a scenario?

5 modules start a scenario when something happens in Daktela. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Daktela as soon as it happens.

Daktela1Watch Accounts

Watch Accounts

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when an account is created or updated”

Watch Accounts hands each new or edited Daktela account to your scenario as a bundle, so the companies you serve stay aligned with your billing or CRM tool without copy and paste.

How it fires
scheduled, Make checks Daktela on the scenario's schedule and picks up what changed since the last check.
When to use it
a finance tool needs to hear about each customer account that appears or changes in Daktela.
Watch out
edits count too, so one account can come through several times; add a filter if only creations matter.
Daktela2Watch Campaign Records

Watch Campaign Records

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a campaign record is created or updated”

Watch Campaign Records gives you each campaign record Daktela creates or modifies, which lets you follow the outcome of outbound calling from outside the contact center.

How it fires
scheduled, Make polls Daktela at the interval set on the scenario, 15 minutes by default.
When to use it
a sales manager wants call results copied into a reporting sheet or pushed back to the CRM once an agent has worked the record.
Watch out
if the same scenario later updates campaign records, the edit is caught again on the next check and can start a loop.
Daktela3Watch Contacts

Watch Contacts

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a contact is created or updated”

Watch Contacts brings every contact created or edited in Daktela into Make, one bundle per person, ready to be copied into a newsletter tool, a CRM or a shared address book.

How it fires
scheduled, Make checks Daktela for new and changed contacts each time the scenario runs.
When to use it
agents add callers during conversations and marketing needs those people in its own list without a manual export.
Watch out
each contact that comes through costs an operation per module downstream, which adds up on a busy switchboard.
Daktela4Watch CRM Records

Watch CRM Records

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a CRM record is created or updated”

Watch CRM Records reacts to the records of the Daktela CRM, new ones and updated ones, so a deal or a case logged by an agent can travel to the tools where the rest of the team works.

How it fires
scheduled, on the scenario's clock; nothing reaches Make between two checks.
When to use it
you want a fresh CRM record to open a campaign record or post a message to the sales channel.
Watch out
Make lists the record fields only after the connection is made, so check them with Run once before building filters.
Daktela5Watch Tickets

Watch Tickets

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a ticket is created or updated”

Watch Tickets is the natural starting point for support automation: it passes every created or updated Daktela ticket to the rest of the scenario, where you can notify, copy or enrich it.

How it fires
scheduled, Make looks at Daktela on the schedule of the first module, every 15 minutes unless you change it.
When to use it
an urgent ticket should reach someone's phone or a team channel without waiting for an agent to spot it.
Watch out
Update a Ticket or a new comment later in the same scenario edits the ticket, and the next check picks it up again.
Modules

What can Make do in Daktela?

Daktela gives you 21 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Daktela1

Create a Campaign Record

Action

In Make“Creates a campaign record in Daktela.”

This module adds a new record to a Daktela campaign, which puts a lead in front of your agents without anyone typing it in by hand. The record then follows the campaign's usual flow.

When to use it
a web form or a CRM record should turn into a call to make, as soon as it exists.
Watch out
run it once on a test campaign first, so real agents do not dial your dummy data.
Daktela2

Create a Comment to a Ticket

Action

In Make“Adds a comment to a ticket”

Posting a comment on an existing ticket gives the agent context from another system right where they work, instead of in a separate tab or an email thread.

When to use it
a shipping tool, a payment app or a form sends news that belongs on a case already open in Daktela.
Watch out
a comment changes the ticket, so a Watch Tickets trigger in the same scenario will see it again.
Daktela3

Create a Contact

Action

In Make“Creates a new CRM contact in Daktela.”

With Create a Contact, a person known elsewhere shows up in Daktela as a CRM contact, so agents recognize the caller instead of starting from a blank screen.

When to use it
a customer signs up in your shop or books a demo, and support should have the details before the first call.
Watch out
nothing in the listing mentions duplicate checks, so run Get a Contact or a filter first if the person may already exist.
Daktela4

Create a CRM Record

Action

In Make“Creates a CRM record in Daktela.”

Create a CRM Record logs a new entry in the Daktela CRM from data captured in another tool, which saves agents from retyping deals or cases they did not start themselves.

When to use it
a quote accepted in your sales tool should appear in Daktela for the team that handles follow-up calls.
Watch out
open the module after connecting to see which record types and fields your account exposes; the public documentation does not list them.
Daktela5

Create an Account

Action

In Make“Creates an account in Daktela.”

An account in Daktela groups the people and cases of one customer company. This module creates it for you, so the structure exists before the first ticket or contact needs a home.

When to use it
a new client signs a contract in your billing or CRM tool and support must be ready on day one.
Watch out
place it before Create a Contact in the scenario if contacts need to be attached to that company.
Daktela6

Create a Ticket

Action

In Make“Creates a ticket in Daktela.”

Create a Ticket opens a case in Daktela from anything that happens outside it: a form message, a failed payment, an alert from a monitoring tool. The agent then treats it like any other ticket.

When to use it
requests arrive through channels Daktela does not read, and you want them all in one queue.
Watch out
if Watch Tickets starts the same scenario, the new ticket comes back on the next check, so keep the two apart.
Daktela7

Get a Campaign Record

Action

In Make“Gets a campaign record”

Get a Campaign Record fetches one campaign record in full, so later modules can use its details: the lead, the outcome, whatever your campaign stores.

When to use it
a trigger or another app hands you only a reference, and you need the complete record before you write a report or update the CRM.
Watch out
it reads one record, not a list; map the record from an earlier module rather than typing it.
Daktela8

Get a Contact

Action

In Make“Gets a contact”

Reading a single contact from Daktela is what this module does, which gives later steps the name, company or other details stored on that person.

When to use it
a ticket arrives, and before sending a message you want the full profile of the customer behind it.
Watch out
each read is one operation, one run of a module that Make counts on your plan, so avoid fetching data the trigger already delivered.
Daktela9

Get a CRM Record

Action

In Make“Gets a CRM record”

Get a CRM Record pulls one Daktela CRM record into the scenario, useful when the data you received is a pointer rather than the record itself.

When to use it
another app mentions a deal or case, and you need its current state in Daktela before deciding what to do next.
Watch out
the fields you get depend on how your CRM is set up in Daktela, so read one output bundle with Run once before mapping.
Daktela10

Get an Account

Action

In Make“Gets a specific account”

This one retrieves a specific Daktela account, the customer company, with the information you keep on it, so a later module can use the company name or its details.

When to use it
a new ticket or contact points to a company and your invoice tool or chat message needs more than an identifier.
Watch out
it returns a single account; to act on many, start from Watch Accounts instead.
Daktela11

Get a Ticket

Action

In Make“Gets a ticket”

Get a Ticket reads the latest version of one Daktela ticket, handy when the scenario has been running for a while and the case may have moved since the trigger saw it.

When to use it
just before writing back to another tool, you want to confirm the ticket's current status rather than rely on older data.
Watch out
map the ticket from a previous module; guessing a reference by hand is the fastest way to read the wrong case.
Daktela12

Make a Call

Action

In Make“Makes a call”

Make a Call starts a call through Daktela from your scenario, turning an event in another tool into a phone conversation instead of a task someone has to remember.

When to use it
a high-value lead fills a form, and speed matters more than a follow-up email.
Watch out
Make publishes no detail on how the call is routed, so test with Run once on your own number before pointing it at customers.
Daktela13

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Make an API Call is the escape hatch: it lets you call any endpoint of the Daktela API with the connection you already have, for everything the other 21 modules do not cover.

When to use it
you need an object or an operation that has no dedicated module, and the Daktela API offers it.
Watch out
you build the request yourself, so keep the Daktela API reference open to see what each call expects.
Daktela14

Send an Email

Action

In Make“Sends an email”

Sending an email through Daktela keeps the message inside the contact center, where agents already see customer exchanges, rather than in a separate mailbox.

When to use it
a status change elsewhere, a shipped order or an approved refund, deserves a written note to the customer from support.
Watch out
test with your own address first with Run once; a mapping mistake sends the wrong text to real people.
Daktela15

Send an SMS

Action

In Make“Sends an SMS”

Send an SMS pushes a short text message out through Daktela, a simple way to reach an agent on call or a customer who does not read email.

When to use it
an urgent ticket appears, or an appointment needs a reminder that people actually see.
Watch out
a scheduled trigger can deliver several bundles in one check, and each one becomes a separate text, so filter before this module.
Daktela16

Set a Pause

Action

In Make“Sets a pause”

Set a Pause changes a pause setting in Daktela from inside your scenario. Make describes it in two words, so open the module after connecting to see exactly what it lets you set.

When to use it
you want an event in another tool, a calendar or an HR app, to drive an availability change in the contact center.
Watch out
try it on a test user with Run once before letting it act on a live team.
Daktela17

Update a Campaign Record

Action

In Make“Updates a Campaign Record.”

Update a Campaign Record changes an existing record in a Daktela campaign, so information collected elsewhere lands on the lead agents are about to call.

When to use it
a prospect replies to an email or books a meeting, and the campaign should reflect it before someone dials.
Watch out
pairing it with Watch Campaign Records in one scenario creates a loop, since each update is caught on the next check.
Daktela18

Update a Contact

Action

In Make“Updates a contact in Daktela.”

Keeping contact details current is the whole job here: the module rewrites an existing Daktela contact with the data another tool holds, so agents never call an old number.

When to use it
a customer edits their profile in your shop or app and the change must reach the contact center.
Watch out
with Watch Contacts upstream, the update triggers the scenario again; add a filter that ignores your own edits.
Daktela19

Update a CRM Record

Action

In Make“Updates a CRM record in Daktela.”

Update a CRM Record writes new values on an existing Daktela CRM record, bringing a deal or a case up to date without an agent retyping it.

When to use it
a contract is signed or an invoice is paid in another app, and the record in Daktela should say so.
Watch out
fields you leave empty may behave differently from one setup to another, so compare the record before and after a Run once test.
Daktela20

Update an Account

Action

In Make“Updates an account in Daktela”

Update an Account refreshes a customer company in Daktela, the address, the plan or any detail you track, from the tool where that information changes first.

When to use it
your billing system is the reference for company data, and support should never work from an outdated version.
Watch out
Watch Accounts in the same scenario would catch this edit again; build the sync in one direction only.
Daktela21

Update a Ticket

Action

In Make“Updates a ticket in Daktela.”

Update a Ticket moves a Daktela case forward from the outside: you can change it when something is resolved in another tool, without an agent reopening it by hand.

When to use it
a refund goes through or a bug is closed in your tracker, and the matching ticket should reflect that.
Watch out
never chain it after Watch Tickets on the same ticket, or each update restarts the scenario.

FAQ

Daktela and Make: common questions

01Is the Daktela Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Daktela is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) lift the interval to one minute and allow up to 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one per module and per bundle, so a busy ticket queue uses more of your monthly credits. Your Daktela subscription is a separate matter.
02What does it take to connect Daktela to Make?
A Daktela account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no specific prerequisite for Daktela. You add any Daktela module, click Create a connection, optionally give it a name, then either authorize Make on the Daktela page or paste the key your account provides, and save. The connection is created once and reused by all 26 modules. If the lists in a module stay empty afterwards, the Daktela user behind the connection probably lacks access to those objects.
03Do the Daktela triggers in Make fire instantly?
No. All five Daktela triggers are scheduled: Make checks Daktela at the interval set on the first module of the scenario, every 15 minutes by default. The Free plan cannot go below 15 minutes; paid plans can check as often as once a minute. Between two checks, nothing reaches Make, and when the check runs, every ticket, contact or record that changed arrives as a separate bundle. If a delay matters, shorten the interval on a paid plan rather than looking for an instant option.
04What if a Daktela module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Daktela API with the connection you already have, so objects or operations without a dedicated module are still reachable. Keep in mind that Make says its own Daktela documentation is limited, so the Daktela API reference is where you check what an endpoint expects. For the existing modules, running one test with Run once shows the exact fields your account returns, which fills most of the gaps the documentation leaves.
05Make or n8n for Daktela: which one fits?
Decide on your needs rather than on the tool's reputation. On Make, Daktela comes with 26 modules: 5 scheduled triggers for accounts, campaign records, contacts, CRM records and tickets, and 21 actions, including calls, SMS, email and Make an API Call for the rest. List the objects and actions your scenarios need, then check the same list on n8n before choosing. Also check whether your team prefers building in a visual editor with a free plan to start, which is what Make offers.
